Charities!

2013-06-13T22:53:00.001-04:00

This is something that REALLY upsets me, I believe in charities, I love to help out other people and to try to further research in illnesses to find a cure, but I believe in doing your research, for example Locks Of Love would not take my hair because it has been chemically colored and has more that 2% grey in it, but people CONSTANTLY tell me to donate my hair to locks of love, PLUS they sell a lot of the hair the receive for example they just released an article about Locks of Love being unable to account for 6.6 MILLION dollars worth of hair! Here go read it, I’ll wait!

Today another article came out showing the 50 WORST charities in America here are the top 12

If you look at the full list SEVERAL of these companies donate 0% to the actual cause!!! WTF???

Please please please do your research before you donate to a charity, I know you want to help, I want to help too, but I would rather help the cause then help pay for the solicitors and the CEOs new boat.

How do you guys feel about this? Do you donate to charity? What ones?

Birchbox and Ipsy!!!

2013-05-31T14:25:00.001-04:00

I am posting this a little early this month!! If you haven’t tried Birchbox or Ipsy please feel free to join via my links, I get points on Birchbox and might get something extra from Ipsy.

First my two Birchbox’s I didn’t film it this month mainly because I have been dealing with some issues. but here’s what I got in both my boxes!

Box 1:

I’ve gotten these tea bags before and I really like them, so I was actually happy to get them. I know a lot of people don’t like tea in their boxes but I love love love tea and enjoy trying new ones.

Beauty Protector- Protect and Detangle. I was so excited to get this! I was envying other people’s Birchbox’s last month and so far I really like this! I might even get a full sized one!

Usually I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting polish in my birchbox but this one was kind of a disappointment. Supposedly this polish is going to change colors when you go outside, it is activated by uv rays, either I didn’t get hit with a SINGLE uv ray or mine just didn’t work

This was taken after 8 hours in the sun but it is a pretty pink color. it is in the shade peony, if you got it in your birchbox and it worked what did you do? How many coats, top coat etc.?

Fabulous but Isaac Mizrahi – was not so fabulous in my opinion… just not a smell I liked.

Then on to something I got in BOTH Birchboxes

Coola Sunscreen-moisturizer. In the cucumber smell. I liked them, not sure how good a moisturizer they were, as I used them with my other moisturizer and serum but I loved the SPF and they smelt good too!

Birchbox 2:

The coola sunscreen of course.

A foil pouch of Miss Jessie’s Jelly soft curls, which I was a little disappointed in because it dried out before I could use it more than once, and the last time I got a Miss Jessie’s product it can in a mini travel sized container and I loved it…

Marvis toothpaste, I’ve gotten this before and it is meh, it’s toothpaste it works but I use crest and it works the same for less money. Toothpaste is not an area where I splurge.

Cargo Water Resistant Blush in Bali- this was my disappointment this month… I was so freaking excited when I saw I would be getting this in my birchbox but the cover came off and the next item gouged and crushed the blush beyond saving during shipping.

Birchbox’s customer service is amazing though, they gave me 100 point credit as soon as I emailed them about the blush which is 10 so basically my box was free.

and finally

Now I am a pen hoarder I love them, and this one writes in pink! But it is something that while I would buy it for myself I don’t want it in a beauty box.

Now for my first ever Ipsy bag!

Yaby Concealer refill in Buff, not bad but not quite my shade it is to yellow/dark for me and not dark enough for contour, plus it came open and it dried out pretty fast.

Ipsy made my day with this, even though I already bought it for myself I sent this one to my little sister for her birthday! A full sized Zoya polish in Jacqueline! (named after me!)

Mirabella LipSheer in Daydream. I thought I wasn’t going to like it but the color is sheer enough to make the purple lipstick look good!

This I am still on the fence about this is a Juice Beauty Lip-gloss in champagne, it smells like lemons, but is super thick and reminds me of the lip smackers lip glosses I had a kid, stick and thick and goopy.

I love Pacifica products and this is a nice lotion, it is supposed to be a self tanner… umm not to much with the tan but it is a nice lotion and a yummy coconut smell!

What did you get in your subscription? Do you get Birchbox or Ipsy? Do you like them?

Zoya’s Sooki!! I love this polish!

If I Won The Lottery…

2013-05-24T12:15:00.001-04:00

This is actually a question I have debated about a lot, In fact Kensei and I were talking about it just last week when the powerball was at 600 million…. We didn’t win just so you know, but I still buy at least one ticket a week because if you don’t play you can’t win.

First it depends on how much I win what I would do. Let’s see current Jackpot is 50 million.

so I would take that and I divide it in half for taxes because well they will kill you in the taxes, so now I have 25 million and then I split that in half which leaves me with 12.5 million.

I put the first half into a savings account of some kind, several CDs, IRA and/or a 401K.

Then I take 1 million and pay off EVERY person I owe money too, student loans, old debt, everything. If It’s on my credit or I owe them money they will be paid off completely.

Then with whatever is left over from that million I will put it away in a bank account to spend on school.

Then I want to take 2 million and buy some land and completely build a new house from scratch…Kensei and I have discussed this plan in detail, because of his schooling in architecture he will draw up the plans, but my main requirements, a Library, ( a sliding panel in the library) a state of the art kitchen, and an indoor or outdoor swimming pool.

so now I’m down to 9 million, 1 million will go to Kensei’s education so he can finish school, 1 million to be split between friends and family

1 million for new cars, for both Kensei and myself.

and 1 million for each of us to spend on whatever we want!

and 1 million on our wedding, and honeymoon!

the rest goes into savings accounts to be used for bills, etc. later on!

What’s In My Purse???

2013-05-14T05:59:00.001-04:00

I love watching What’s in my Purse vlogs and seeing What’s in my Purse blogs, so I decided I would do another one because I just switched out my bag! This was REALLY hard for me, if you have seen my previous What’s In my Purse Posts You can find them Here and Here, You will see I generally go for BIG bags that I can fill up with many different items that I need but don’t really need.

I bought this purse on sale at Target, I found it on the site and will link it (in several colors) but it is not at the killer sale price online, so if you want one go to the store…. I literally paid 6.99 for this bag! Here it is in the Pink, a REALLY pretty Blue, and a neutral brown. They also have it in green purple and several other colors.

Inside the Side Pocket 1 I keep just one thing, A change holder I got on sale at Gordan’s for 2.99

Then in Side Pocket 2 I keep My light up mirror, a nail polish, either top coat or actual color (this time it is a top coat) because I cannot STAND the feeling of chipped nails, and my keys are clipped along the side of the pocket.

Then I have my Perfume Pocket…. Yes I have a WHOLE pocket dedicated to perfume, I have My, My Sent bottle filled with Harvey Prince’s Skinny Chic, (I am in LOVE With Harvey Prince smells, Eau De Flirt and Hello are 2 of my other favorites) BBW Forever Red Perfume, Vicks Vapor Stick (for allergies) and BBW anti-back in Feeling Lucky which smells like Apples.

Then I have my makeup Pocket, which I guess SHOULD be called my lipstick pocket, this was also very hard for me, in my old purse I actually carried 3 filled makeup bags full of different makeup and 2 Ziploc's of lipsticks/gloss. So cutting down to a few products was painful for me.

I have from left to right, top to bottom:

Maybelline Color Vivid in Shocking Coral, Rimmel London Kate Matte in 104, NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa, Revlon Color Stay Ultimate Suede in 025 Socialite, and L’Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua’s in 188 Coral Tattoo and 184 Rose On and One

Then I have the little Zipper pouch I have my Samsung Glide Cell in the pretty pink case that matches the purse, I have 3 Listerine breath strips packs, my travel floss picks my Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer in Fair/light that I got 50% off, Rimmel London Scandaleyes in taupe which I like/don’t like and Jordana Fabuliner in Brown as well as my Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange solid perfume.

The BIG zippy pocket has a LOT more stuff. There are three little pockets inside, in each of those pockets I have my Poo-pourri, Advil, and my cold sore medicine (get WAY to many of them when I am stressed) my Glass cleaner and repair kit from Sunglass Hut, Allegra, and Dayquil and Dove 48 hour deodorant and Cortisone anti-itch stick.

Then I have my EOS Lip Balm in Watermelon, four pens, my little umbrella, and Julep Hand Cream, and Finally my little bag of Girl products, my mini change purse with my school ID and my Fossil Wallet.

Well that is it in my Purse… What’s in your purse? If you have done or or do one I’d love to see it put your link in the comments so I can visit!!

5 Books Every Young Woman Should Read.

2013-05-01T23:06:00.001-04:00

So I am a little bit late with this link up this week. Finals have been kicking my butt and I’ve got two more weeks of them left!!

The first two are some my favorites and even though they can be considered children's books, They are books that I have continually pulled out over and over again when I am having a bad day or just need something to make me happy.

Because every girl should know that they are a princess. This book shows young women that perseverance and imagination can conquer even the most desperate situations.

Honorable Mention – By the Same Author

Again adventure and finding yourself as well as believing in yourself.

Number Two I mentioned before, But Every girl needs to know that they should have someone willing to tell them As You Wish

Number three is a Jane Austin book, I would like to add Pride And Prejudice in here too.

In Sense and Sensibility there are so many Lessons a young woman should learn, but some are that sometimes it is worth the wait, and that your virtue and sticking to it can be rewarding.

Then I have three books for number 4, they are again by the same author, and if you can get past the old English then the stories are magical, at least in my opinion.

William Shakespeare

And Number Five is Arabian Nights.

Scheherazade knows her own mind and figures out a way to get what she wants while in the same process saving her kingdom and the man she loves.

Sunday Social Throwback!

2013-04-28T07:57:00.000-04:00

1. Did you sleepwalk as a child?

Sleep Walk? Not that I know of, but I did (and do) sleep talk.. I had a tendency to confess every bad thing I did that day while I was asleep…. I got busted for so many things because of that!

2. Did you ever try to run away or sneak out of your house?

I did… I had a lot of family issues when I was in my teens, I literally ran away at least 2 times a week, every week during my 16th year.

3. Did you have any imaginary friends?

not really as people think of them. I had books. I lived in imaginary worlds filled with the characters in my books, but I didn’t really have imaginary friends I talked to or played with.

4. Did you ever go toilet papering?

nope

5. Did you ever sneak TV shows you weren't allowed to watch?

yup! I watched a lot of shows I wasn’t allowed too. I watched Hercules, Zena Warrior Princess, Jack Of All Trades, and because my dad forbid all Anime in the house I would record Sailor Moon and watch it an Inuyasha at like 2 am.

Top 3 Favorite Books Of All Time

2013-04-22T02:36:00.000-04:00

This is SOOOOO Hard for me!!

I am going to go with 2 and count them as one because they go together first.

Because these were the first “Big Girl” Books I ever read, in the 4th and 5th grade. and Because Rhett and Scarlett’s love story is complicated and is real and has issues and needs to be worked out like a real relationship! and because I mean who DOESN’T Love this couple??

Next I have to go with Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austin.

And as for the third… I have to go with Catherine Hart’s Fire and Ice. It was one of the First Romance novels I EVER read and I LOVED it (hated the sequel) But on its own an amazing story of love and adventure.

and even though it’s top three, the classic story of the Princess Bride is also up there tied with 3rd for me,

What are your top 3 (or 4) books??

Sunday Social

2013-04-21T19:56:00.001-04:00

1. What is your shopping weakness?

Makeup, Nail Polish, Purses, Scarves, Books… heck shopping in general!

2. What is your food weakness?

Sushi, Japanese and Italian

3. What is your go to movie to watch when nothing is on?

I don’t really have a go to movie, but usually something Disney (like Mulan, Beauty and the Beast etc) or Doctor Who Episodes.

4. What is your go to breakfast food?

I rarely eat breakfast, but I love pancakes and bacon with oj and toast!

5. Do you drink coffee? If so, how do you take it?

Ew! No coffee for me! I am a Coca-Cola girl!

Front Desk Guest Associate

2013-04-10T20:04:00.001-04:00

I would be linking up with Hey It’s Okay today but I needed to get this off my chest.

Hello, My name is Angel and I work as a Front Desk Guest Associate at a hotel, I have worked front desk for almost 8 years now and I have learned a few things that non hotel employees might want to take a quick peek at.

First, I work a minimum of an 8 hour shift, with no lunch break, no rest break and only occasionally get to use the restroom.

I have to be sweet, smiling and happy that entire 8 plus hour shift regardless of anything that is going on in my life, or how I feel health wise. Sometimes I work 16-18 hour shifts with only a 6 hour break to go home and sleep… so if my smile is a little fake well that’s why.

Here are some things I just want to put out there as things NOT to do.

I’ve already posted a few of these such as how to handle kids, Naked males, Drunks at night, and many other things!

But here are some things that really irk me, particularly as I just saw a news show telling people to do these things!

1. I AM NOT here for you to talk down to, you can tell a lot about a person by the way the treat waiters and the front desk, yes my job is to provide service with a smile, but it is not for you to cuss me out and try to make me feel like crud.

2. Do not argue the price of the rooms with me. I am looking at my computer screen and the more you argue with me the more likely I will not budge or just tell you to go elsewhere, if you have AAA, AARP or Military ID I will give you those discounts not more, our AAA and AARP is 10% off, not 20, 30 or 50.

3. Unless you are handicap DO NOT ask for the handicap room, especially on busy nights. I don’t care if the news told you they were more spacious, they are so that people in wheelchairs can maneuverer, I hate having to tell the actual handicap guests that I don’t have an accessible room because you wanted more space.

4. DO NOT call me honey, baby, sweetie, doll, doll face, hot stuff or anything else along those lines, I am not dating you or your groupie, it is really disrespectful.

5. On that same note, do not ask me to join you in your room. I don’t want to, am not allowed to, and could honestly loose my job just because you asked me to if another guest hears and mentions it to my boss.

and the thing that sparked this post.

6. I do not under ANY circumstances need to know about your masturbatory habits. I do not need you to come up to the desk every 30 min to tell me you just finished… umm enjoying yourself, I do not need details, I do not need you to bring up your porn to the desk to try and show me. I don’t care that you are a super amazing elite member of our guest rewards program…. it makes me uncomfortable, particularly when I am the only employee in the hotel on the audit shift and is harassment.

I love my job, but some times I just don’t understand people….

I love the journal and the stickers are too cute! Plus the mood pen is adorable!

Katie also has her own shop and she sent me an adorable necklace she made!

This is one of my favorite BBW scents and I can always use more BBW products! Chocolate Bunny!! YUM!

Seriously I think Katie snuck a peek in my purse! I LOVE Vanilla softlips and burts bees!!

And my favorite Valentines candies and a yummy smelling solid perfume in Jasmine!

My Dirty Little Secret

2013-03-05T04:21:00.001-05:00

I have a secret, I feel like I need to share.

Do you see that thing around my waist? It’s a corset, Yup a bonified steel boned Gone With The Wind Corset

Now I definitely don’t lace down to a 18 in waist, as much as I might like too. But I do like to wear them. Most of the time I wear one under my clothes but occasionally I wear them outside of my clothes.

Why on earth would I subject myself to this “torture” We are women and have long since passed the days of wearing things like this. I has a friend say to me when she found my collection of corsets.

I wear mine for a few different reasons. I have PCOS as well as a few other things that cause me pain. I have a lot of pain in my lower abdomen as well as chronic pinched nerves and back pain. I originally got my corset because my pinched nerve was so bad I couldn’t stand up out of my bed without crying from the pain, let alone work, go to class or anything else.

Second I like the shape it gives me, with out my corset I don’t like the way I look in my work uniform for instance, with it My stomach is held inn, my waist curves in instead of bulging out, and I just think I look better.

Another reason I wear a corset is because I do have PCOS and have a problem with my weight. I wear the corset because I don’t eat as much when I have it on, not because I am not hungry, but because my stomach is compressed slightly and it causes me to eat slower and therefore realize when I am full and stop there!

I want to say right now this is NOT a sponsored post, (but hey if they want to sponsor me I’d be thrilled!) But all my corsets are off the rack corsets from one particular company. I get my Corsets from Corset Story. Particularly from their sale section. I have 4 underbust corsets and 2 overbust ones.

If you are interested in corsets or want to hear more about my journey with them let me know I would love to tell more people about this!
